About this study

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of resistance exercise and training on cardiovascular function of peripheral artery disease patients.

Read the detailed description

Several studies have shown that strength training can promote important benefits for the cardiovascular system in healthy subjects and patients with chronic diseases. However, the effects of resistance exercise on cardiovascular function in intermittent claudication patients are unclear. In addition, it also do not know the chronic effects on cardiovascular function in these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistance training in people with Peripheral Artery Disease and Intermittent Claudication, run by University of Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in blood pressure (time frame: Change from baseline to 12 and 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 May 2016.
